Umatilla County Lacks '60 Budget
Pendleton (UPD Umatilla
t
county was informed by the
State Tax commission Monday
that it does have a budget for
1959-60.
This was an undecided is
sue over the week end and
had resulted in a tie-up of
Umatilla county employees'
salaries. But after word was
received from the tax com
mission checks for salaries
were prepared.
A group of citizens filed a
protest to the budget last
week, leaving the legality
question in doubt. District At
torney Richard J. Courson
said tax commission attorneys
told him the 1959-60 budget
was valid. ,
Coursen, however, said he
doubted the wisdom of any
major capital expenditures for
the budget until, some final
settlement is made. He indi
cated the tax commission may
hold hearing1; on a list of pro
tests to the budget fled;by
county residents.
. The local group claimed the
budget was prepared illegally
and that changes had been
made without the public's
knowledge. '

MEDFORD, OREGON
Washington-(Science Serv-ice)-The
world's top astrono
mers do not agree on the ori
gin of the universe.
Of 33 1 participating in a
Science Service Grand Jury
on this subject, 'here was a
virtually equal division on
whether or not the universe
started with a "big bang"
several million years ago. To
this question, 11 (33.3 per
cent) voted "Yes," and' 12
(36.4 per cent) voted "No,"
while 10 (30.3 per cent) were
counted p "Not Voting."
Concerning the more re
cent theory that matter is be
ing continual!:' created and
destroyed, opinion was more
sharply divided among the
33. More than half of those
responding, . 18, or 54.' ' per
cent, said, they did not agree.
Eight, or 24.2 per cent, replied
they did believe matter is
being continually created, and
seven, or 21.2 per cent did
not vote.
Of the 33 experts, 23, or
69.7 per cent, showed high
hopes that one or the other
of these opposing theories
would be proved right within
the next 41 Vears, -vhilr three,
or 9.1 per cent, thought they
would never be solved. Sev
en, or 21.2 per cent, did not
vote.
Concerning 1 specific year
in the future voted on by 23,
14 or 42.5 per cent, were suf
ficiently optimistic to predict
that either the big bang . or
the steady-state question
would be solved bys1975, the
other nine, or 27.2 per cent,
holding out for the year 2000
A.D. One wrote in a forecast
f - a solution within five
years, as well as voting for
1975.
Concerning the kind of ob
servation most likely to give
the answer to the problem,
many of the astronomers and
cosmologists responding to
the poll chose more than one
method. (Total percentages
therefore equal more than
100 per cent.) Twenty, or 60.5
per cent, said observations of
radio waves from far-distant
objects would yield the an
swer, while three, or 9.1 per
cent, predicted th.- radio as
tronomy would not provide
a solution?. '
A telescope on a satellite
would do he job in the opin
ion of 11, or 33.3 per cent,
although seve . or .21.2" per
cent, held that it would not.
An . earthbound telescope,
either the 200-inch feiant
atop Mr. Palomar or others
or more than a 100-h ch aper
ture, would give an nswer
to the origin of the universe,
10 of the 33, or 30.3 per cent,
believe.
The lone astronomer who
thought a telescope mounted
from a balloon held the key
was out-voted ten t one by
his colleagues. y .
Five astronomers, or 15.2
per cent, Jid not vote on the
question of what kind of ob
servation would be . most
likely to prov'de a solution.
Of the 61 scientists selected
for the Grand Jury, 3C came
from the U.S., two from Can
ada, and 23 from foreign
countries. Of those answer
ing, 26 are U. S. sci mtists,
two Canadian and five from
foreign countries.
Besides answering ques
tions, the 33 astronomers
polled were given a chance
to make any comment they
desired,- with assurances of
anonymity for their remarks.
Not all astronomers agreed
Not Agree
Poll Shows
with the idea or a poll. .
. One said, "I do not beliee
that polls s ich as this one
serve any useful scientific
purpose and, in fact, are apt
to be misle 'ding. I prefer,
therefore, not to participate."
Another, astronomer said
that much of the "fun of as
tronomical research" would
be removed if a sure answer
to the.questior of the origin
of the universe were ever
found.
. One German astronomer
remarked: "Of course, these
answers are quite tentative
and new observations as
everywhere in science may
completely overthrow some
day our present ideas about
the origin of 'he world 'as
a whole.' More important
than any s ecific answer is

Then came more operations.
And finally at her fifth birth

A Netherlands astronomer
said he thought the chief
merit of the . theory of con

the cosmologists to," realize
the brittleress of all their
influences from observation."

Halting Program
Could Hurt Stales
San Juan, Puerto Rico-flJPD-One
bloc of governors agreed
Tuesday that halting the in
terstate highway program
could jolt state budgets as
iruch as or worse than the
steel' strike by cutting state
income and sales tax collections.
This conclusion was reach
ed at one of four panel dis
cussions in which those at
tending the present 51st gov
ernors conference discussed
tax headaches of the finan
cially beleaguered states and
agreed there was no relief in
sight.
In a panel headed by Gov.
Robert E. Smylie of Idaho,
the governors of lightly pop
ulated states from Vermont to
Nevada agreed that any
threatened stoppage of the in
terstate highway program
would hurt.
Congress is not buying Pres
ident Eisenhower's request for
a gasoline tax increase nor
has it yet come up with an
alternative acceptable to him.
"I think it behooves us all
to insist that Congress meet
this issue and prevent a stop
page of this program," Gov.
George Deecy Clyde of Utah
said.
None of the governors call
ed for a federal gasoline tax
increase, however, and some
complained that more federal
taxes oh highway users should
go into a highway trust fund
which finances the federal
share of road-building costs.
Reporting later to the full
conference, Smylie said the
highway program stoppage
raised the greatest current
threat, worse than the steel
strike, to the economy of the
states in his panel.
